Waking Up to Success

Today, I wanted to share one of my favourite TED Talks. Oddly, I have a hard time describing what he talks about – I just know it’s inspiring! Benjamin Zander is a conductor, but his wisdom extends to all fields. While classical music is his medium, he shares messages about vision, impact, empathy, and understanding.

Your life will be richer if you can invest 20 minutes of time to watch, listen, and enjoy. Try to make it distraction-free time, if possible, so you can be present in the experience. So often, we try to multi-task and rob ourselves of the ability to be truly engaged. In the pursuit of being more productive, we sacrifice our own enjoyment of wonderful experiences!​If you want more of Ben Zander, he also co-authored a fantastic book called The Art of Possibility. He writes as an educator, but again, his topic transcends specific disciplines and impacted me as a human being.
